This is mad.. Even better for those of us that have clear lenses.. Let these pics tell the story..
The storyline goes something like this..
Preparing Nellie(HN) for the long haul to Valla. So the cleaning has begun.. Anyone notice my new investment/ anything unusual yet?
BenettonVW ·
No? Maybe this will help..
Grey 57 ·
Very kool Jim.
Nice new bulbs for the indicators!!!
BenettonVW ·
Yep, thats it.. Chrome globes!! Maybe the lens off will help..
Okay, I hear you say, fair enough, but do they work?
We'll soon see...
BenettonVW ·
But do they work? Well?
BenettonVW ·
Maybe the flash off may help more..
How cool are they? :thumb Thanks to SikDub!!

So what is it? Like Orange inside/Chrome outside? The light looks REAL NICE! Look at the reflection off the bod! It's a work of art!
BenettonVW ·
Yeah it is something like that. If you look at it in the sun, you can see through the chrome to the orange inside.. Awesome.
I have ordered two sets of red and another set of orange for my clear tails too.. Which should be pure madness.. Should make people look twice at Valla.. he he.. :duh
seagull ·
where can others order these from please sir god
vwombat ·
So it must be some sort of funky new foil? And the light goes through it from behind as well as reflecting backwards? It doesn't appear to block any light... Whatever it is it rocks! That looks just so schmicko!
BenettonVW ·
Your local car shop eg. Autobahn etc would be able to get you some..
I think they are made for the ricers..
zac_smits ·

i'm like.."woah!! it's bertha!!!" hahahaha
either way, looks very good!!

robnjo ·
......very Trick mate
I've got in my front head lights a blue park bulb...looks very icy,but not ricey,if you know what I mean.
killakornkobb ·
icey is just ricey without the "r"..
damn these thinners at work today! good stuff! Woooooh-Yeah!
type3kid ·
that's looks tops dude, can't wait to see them up close at valla
Anthiron ·
i take it you fixed the overheating? was it? problems with nellie then for the trip to valla? i remember you were thinking you werent going to be able to take her.
BenettonVW ·
Complete engine recondition for Valla, which I should have back on the weekend..
In the meantime, tinware powder coated, twin carbs rebuilt, exhaust repaired.. About 2K later..
Oh yep. I'll be there.. (I hope).

wish i had that kinda money to spend on my car before valla:cry

i got them on my Audi they cost $40 a bulb
Osram Diadems have a blue/orange tinge to them when not lit up
And the Phillips Silvervisions have a a more yellowy colour when lit but are clear:beer
BenettonVW ·
The Silvervisions are the ones we went in for Costa, but came away with these.. They are some sort of cheap ricer brand, but if they work, and last, then its all good!
Those others sound like HID globes Costa, as in High Impact Definition or some crap.. Essentially that white light that some cars have when you see them, and it seems to change colours and it really bright.. Difference being the gas they burn. Normal globes burn Halogen, but these other more expensive ones burn Xenon.. Burns at a hotter temperature.
XXX-1.8T ·
nah i was actually talking about indicator lenses not headlights Jim
Im getting Xenons for the Audi 🙂 which have the white blue effect pricey but i got them from Germany at a 1/4 of the price of what they would cost here 😉
But yeah not a fan of the Osrams Silvervisions get my vote but can be exxy how much was this no name brand Jim?
:party
sikdub ·
You already know what I think mate. Sweet! 😎
PHAT BUG ·
Very nice Jim!!
BenettonVW ·
Cheers all. $19 for a pair which I thought was good..
XXX-1.8T ·
thats bargain do those guys make LED's?
can u u2u me details fo this place?
oval TOFU ·
nice att. to detail jim! even cooler would be creaseless blinker lenses so the view of the globe is unadulterated... mmmm
t'would be cool to use LEDs too... esp in the 50's tialights as they have the circular pattern on the lense - one LED for each 'dot'!
